Unseen Academicals

by Terry Pratchett - £7.99  Transworld Publishers Ltd (Corgi Books) (2010)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780552153379 | ISBN 10: 0552153370

Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork. And now the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else.
 
The prospect of the Big Match draws in a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman, who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr Nutt (and no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt, which worries him, too). As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed for ever.
 
Because the thing about football – the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.
 
Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

"Behind the fantasy Terry Pratchett looks at very real contemporary issues and scores many goals. This isn't just football, it's Discworld football. Or, to borrow another phrase, it's about life, the Universe, and everything."
(The Times)
